Audit Kit

Fast, client-ready website audits from one TypeScript CLI.

Sponsor Audit Kit

ak example.com

That one command runs the HTML, security, performance, accessibility, best-practices, and SEO checks. Audit Kit shows a clear terminal summary and asks whether to save the reports.

Install

npm install -g auditkit

Requirements:

• Node.js 24 or newer
• Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, or Helium for Lighthouse

No Rust toolchain or build step is needed.

Common workflows

Run a complete one-off audit:

ak example.com
ak example.com --save ./example-audit

Run one focused check:

ak check example.com
ak security example.com
ak lighthouse example.com

Create a reusable client workspace:

ak new
ak inspect latest
ak report latest

Workspaces live in the current directory:

audits/2026-07-29-example/
├─ brief.md
├─ workspace.md
├─ findings.md
├─ final-report.md
├─ client-email.md
└─ raw/lighthouse.json

Commands

| Command | Result | | --- | --- | | ak <url> | Run the complete audit | | ak check [url] | Check HTML and SEO basics | | ak security [url] | Check security headers | | ak lighthouse [url] | Run Lighthouse | | ak new | Create a client workspace | | ak inspect [latest\|workspace] | Run every check and update a workspace | | ak report [latest\|workspace] | Build the report and client email | | ak list | List workspaces |

Add --save [folder] to any audit command. Use an existing workspace name or latest to save into a workspace.

Use ak help <command> for focused help.

Report settings

Audit Kit reads auditkit.config.json from the directory where you run it. The included file shows the supported agency name, auditor name, and service pricing fields.

Development

npm install
npm test
node src/cli.ts --help

The CLI runs TypeScript directly on Node 24. There is no generated build folder. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the code map.
